Enterprise Environment Register — GCC High / DoD

Template version: 1.0 — May 2026 — DoD / GCC High extension

This register is the authoritative inventory of all Power Platform environments in the GCC High tenant. It is maintained by the Platform CoE and updated within 24 hours of any environment provisioning or decommission event.

For the per-project LP-ALM environment register (a single program’s Dev/Test/Prod), see the LP-ALM Environment Register ↗. This document is the tenant-wide inventory maintained by the CoE.

How to use this register

  1. One row per environment. Every environment in the tenant — including CoE environments and sandboxes — has a row.
  2. Update within 24 hours of provisioning, decommission, or owner change.
  3. Never store secrets here. Connection reference values, service principal secrets, and _Config values are stored in Azure Government Key Vault and the program’s config management record — not this document.
  4. Store in SharePoint GCC High or Dataverse. Do not maintain this in a personal OneDrive or local file. The CoE Starter Kit environment inventory can serve as a live data source for this register.

Quarterly owner confirmation process

Each quarter, the CoE sends an automated notification to every environment owner. Owners must confirm:

  1. The environment is still active and in use
  2. The listed human owner is still correct
  3. The data classification is still accurate
  4. The ATO status is current

No response within 30 days: Environment is escalated to the owner’s command representative.

No response after 60 days: Environment is quarantined. Owner has 30 days to respond before deletion.

Owner transfer process:

When an environment owner transfers or departs:

  1. Outgoing owner (or their supervisor) submits ownership transfer request via the intake application
  2. New owner is designated and accepts responsibility in writing
  3. CoE updates this register within 24 hours
  4. If service principals are tied to the departing person’s credentials, rotate immediately
